Israel Has Not Been Treated Like Other NationsBrazil Embassy to Jerusalem and Palestine Embassy Closed

11-6-18, Pres Trump’s focus on reality – not fantasy – is bearing fruit. Brazil’s President-Elect - Jair Bolsonaro echoing the Trump administration’s stance announced he will close the Palestinian embassy in Brasilia stating: “Is Palestine a country? Palestine is not a country, so there should be no embassy here.” - announced Brazil was moving its Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem – tweeting: “Israel is a sovereign state and we shall duly respect that.”

“How can we involve Israel and prompt it to contribute to the affairs of the region? I am going to say something that I say for the first time. Israel is a state that is present in this region. We all understand this, we know this; the world is also aware of this fact. But despite that, Israel is not being treated by the other countries as it is treating the other countries. Maybe it is time for Israel to be treated the same and it should also bear the same obligations as other countries. Why? Those are really facts. History says that the Torah saw the light in the Middle East, that the prophets of Israel were born in the Middle East, and that the Jews also used to live in this area of the world.” More here​
